Understanding Copula Verbs

A copula (from the Latin copula, meaning ‘loop’ or ‘link’) is a type of verb used in some languages to build what is called nominal predication.

Plato’s Theory of Knowledge: Memory, Opposites, and the Soul

Plato’s Theory of Knowledge

1. Memory as Argument

Plato argued that encountering something familiar reminds us of something else, even if there’s no apparent connection.
